Ibom Air: Selective Justice Threat to Rule of Law – Labour Party

 

The Labour Party, LP, has frowned at the selective justice meted to Ms. Comfort Emmanson following her altercation with Ibom Air officials.

 

According to the party, the contrasting treatment meted out to popular musician Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, aka K1 De Ultimate, and Emmanson is condemnable.

 

This was contained in a statement signed by Ken Asogwa, Senior Special Adviser to the Acting National Chairman of the Labour Party, Nenadi Usman, on Tuesday.

 

The party stated that great nations are built on the foundation of equality before the law, warning that selective justice is a threat to the rule of law and national cohesion.

 

“This flagrant violation of established aviation safety regulations was conveniently glossed over by the relevant authorities, apparently because of the musician’s proximity to the President,” it said.

 

While acknowledging that Ms. Emmanson may have violated passenger safety guidelines, the LP strongly condemned what it described as her “inhumane treatment,” calling it a blatant violation of her constitutional right to personal dignity.

 

The party further criticized aviation stakeholders for rushing to defend K1 De Ultimate instead of condemning his alleged recklessness.
